A Barking Where There Are No Dogs: It feels impossible to write about anything other than the massive Corona virus story, the massive repression of democracy and the massive usurpation of power by both state and federal agencies, both in the U.S. and across the world. The fact that every country on earth save Belarus, apparently, bought into this narrative suggests the globalization of propaganda and of paranoia.
